BREVARD COUNTY • MIMS, FLORIDA – The Florida District 22 All-Star Tournament for 2024 continued Saturday night with the 8/9/10 Baseball Division at Holder Park in Mims.

Game 1:

The All-stars from District 11’s St. Augustine Little League (visitor) met the All-stars from District 19’s Lake Mary LL. St. Augustine’s first 3 batters, Brady Leth, Josiah Engleman, and Liam Drozd reached base and scored. Lake Mary answered back in the 2nd inning with Mason Williams’ solo homer followed by Colton Hallman and Fenn Morin reaching base and scoring to tie the game at 3.

The skies opened up with rain in the 3rd inning with the score still tied at 3-3. After 2 hours of raking, splashing about, several bags of Speedy Dry, and a lot of help from volunteers, the fields were back to playable and the game continued. St. Augustine’s Drozd scored 2 more runs, while Micah Bush, Evan Gaskins, and Colby Frink hit home runs.

Isaiah Holden hit a Grand Slam in the 4th inning helping St. Augustine to capture the win with a score of 19-3. St. Augustine’s win set up the remaining games for the day.

Game 2:

District 22’s Mims LL (visitor) played District 19’s Lake Mary LL. Mims started the scoring in the first inning when Noah Denoro reached base and Mason Selph brought him in with a 2-run homer.

But Lake Mary answered back in their half of the first with runs from Phoenix Hallman and Carter Picard.

Mims’ M. Selph would homer again on a full count in the 6th, but it wouldn’t be enough as Lake Mary’s P. Hallman, Picard, and Jax Padgett would each score twice in their team’s 10-3 victory.

Game 3:

District 11’s St. Augustine LL (visitor) was then matched against District 22’s Mims LL in the final game of the day. The game was close and went into the 5th tied at 1 after St. Augustine’s Brady Leth scored in the 1st and Mims’ Brayden Madison homered in the 2nd inning.

Mims’ Mason Selph would homer in the 6th to break the tie and become the eventual winning run as Mims defeated St. Augustine 2-1.

With all three teams tied at 1-1, Little League’s Runs Allowed Ratio needed to be used to determine a tournament champion.

With only 5 runs allowed throughout the tournament, St. Augustine LL claimed the title and will represent Section 3 at the Florida Intermediate (50/70) Baseball State Tournament starting on Friday, June 28th, and hosted by Palmetto Little League.
